SURPRISE a recipe without gin! Some of you may find this hard to believe but i'm actually not the biggest tequila fan- however I do love myself a good margarita. Back when I lived in Wyoming, "spicy" margs were all the rage and for good reason (not to mention you're forced to drink water which helps avoid any hangover). Typically spicy margs are made with jalapenos, so I figured i'd try out something new and let me tell you- I am thoroughly impressed.
- 6 Limes
- Simple Syrup
- Habanero peppers
- Tequila
- Package of Fresh Blood Oranges- 6 Limes
- Simple Syrup
- Habanero peppers
- Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- Coarse Salt
1. Start by juicing your blood oranges and then juice your limes.
5. Then pour .5oz of lime juice followed by another .5oz of simple overtop.
6. Top off with 2oz of blood orange juice.
Instructions:
2. You're going to want to give the tequila some of that heat and flavor, so I suggest cutting up 1-2 habanero peppers and infusing it into the tequila, let the tequila marinate for a few hours or overnight. Strain out the peppers and seeds after infusing.
3. Rub the rim of your glass with a lime and dip into a mixture of crushed red pepper flakes and salt.
4. Add your ice to your glass and then begin by pouring the 1.5-2oz (depending on how strong you'd like it) of your spicy tequila. 5. Then pour .5oz of lime juice followed by another .5oz of simple overtop.
6. Top off with 2oz of blood orange juice.
7. Garnish the margarita with a habanero pepper and serve!
